Xiaomi will be launching the Black Shark 2 Pro smartphone on July 30. With few days remaining for the launch, the Chinese firm has started receiving reservations of the smartphone from today. It will be arriving as the second phone powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform that was seen on the newly ASUS ROG Phone 2 gaming phone.
The Black Shark 2 Pro is now up for reservations through multiple platforms such as official Black Shark site, Xiaomi Mall and Jingdong Mall. On JD, the Black Shark 2 Pro has a placeholder image and pricing of 8888 Yuan. Apart form DC dimming 2.0 support, the JD listing of the smartphone does not have any information on its specifications. Also, the official Weibo channel of Black Shark has revealed that the Black Shark 2 Pro will come with many accessories and peripherals. Xiaomi has officially confirmed that it will be fueled by SD855+.
Since the Black Shark 2 Pro will be an advanced version of the Black Shark 2 gaming phone that was announced in March in China, the new phone could be coming with some identical specs. However, it could be coming with major improvements like SD855+ and accessories. Recently, a listing of the Black Shark 2 Pro phone was spotted on Geekbench benchmarking platform. It revealed that the flagship SoC powering the phone is coupled with 12 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 9 Pie OS. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the Black Shark 2 Pro has respectively scored 3632 and 11304 points.
The above image of the phone found on Black Shark’s Weibo reveals that the Black Shark 2 Pro will be sporting a redesigned rear panel. The Black Shark 2 features a vertical dual camera setup placed at the top-left corner. The image of Black Shark 2 Pro shows that it is equipped with horizontal camera system. Also, the smartphone seems to be equipped with more RGB lighting than predecessor models. Hopefully, more details on the Black Shark 2 Pro will be revealed ahead of its official announcement.
